APT NGINX Extras for Debian and Ubuntu

This site documents GetPageSpeed APT NGINX Extras: a rich collection of NGINX dynamic modules packaged for Debian and Ubuntu via the extras.getpagespeed.com repositories.

Each module page is generated automatically from upstream sources and annotated with actual availability per suite (e.g. bookworm, bookworm-mainline, bookworm-nginx-mod, jammy, jammy-mainline, jammy-nginx-mod, noble-nginx-mod), so you always see only what is really published.

To get started, follow the APT repository setup guide, then browse the modules index to pick the features you need.

nginx-mod: a patched nginx for advanced setups

In addition to dynamic modules for stock nginx, the repository ships nginx-mod: a GetPageSpeed-patched build of stable nginx with two extra modules statically baked in (nginx_upstream_check_module for active health checks, ngx_http_upstream_api_module for NGINX Plus-compatible dynamic upstream management) and an opinionated patch set that adds, among others, extended limit_req_rate units — r/h, r/d, r/w, r/M, r/Y for rate-limiting per hour, day, week, month, or year.

nginx-mod is ABI-compatible with our stable nginx, so every nginx-module-* package from the stable suite loads against it without rebuild. The variant is published to per-codename nginx-mod suites:

  • Ubuntu 22.04: jammy-nginx-mod
  • Ubuntu 24.04: noble-nginx-mod
  • Debian 12: bookworm-nginx-mod

To use it, enable both the matching stable suite (for the dynamic modules) and the <codename>-nginx-mod suite (for the binary). See the nginx-mod section of the APT setup guide for copy-paste install lines.

ModSecurity + OWASP Core Rule Set

For web application firewall protection, the repository ships the ModSecurity-nginx connector (nginx-module-security) together with the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set as the data-only package nginx-owasp-crs. Install paths match the RPM side 1:1, so the install guide for ModSecurity + nginx applies verbatim on Debian and Ubuntu — just swap dnf for apt.

sudo apt-get install nginx-module-security nginx-owasp-crs

Rules land under /etc/nginx/owasp-modsecurity-crs/ with a ready-to-use include manifest at /etc/nginx/modsec_includes.conf.
